  1. I had a positive experience with princess insurance (standard) so wanted to share. I had to cancel a cruise for medical reasons 18 days prior to sailing. Within 1 day, Princess refunded 25% of the cruise fare and port fees/taxes. I filed a claim for the remainder with AON on 4/18. It was approved on 4/20 and I received a check for the remainder on 5/1.
  2. Yes, from inside to balcony on sold out Thanksgiving cruise. Bid minimum 2 weeks out, bid accepted 2 days before sail date. They play musical cabins right up to sail date.
  3. That's how it was meant to be.....only bid if you can accept any location on the ship. If you wanted a specific cabin, do it at booking, at that price.
  4. If they were to give something that people would actually like, there would be too many people getting them. This way it's mostly a one and done, and for some people, not even that.
  5. Following....a few people have promised but never came through
  6. And, don't miss out on the zumba and line dancing classes put on by the cruise staff. They were great on the Royal.
  7. So, anyone care to speculate why the Royal is less expensive than the Ruby for the same cruise, Pacific NW rt SF April 23 vs April 30. Also, the Ruby seems to be almost sold out which leads to higher fares, so maybe the better question is why isn't the Royal selling as fast? 🤔
  8. I agree about that 1st night menu. You would think they would want to make a good impression. I went for a princess favorite, but heard those have gone away with the new one page menu. Hope it's not true.
  9. We will be sailing on the Ruby, standard package. Is there a refillable water bottle station at the buffet, and, what beverages are included at the buffet, besides coffee. We were just on the Royal but didn't check out the offerings since we had the plus package. Thanks in advace.
  10. That's what it tasted like with the liquor ... lol.. not my thing, but I was up to trying it once
  11. same here, by the time it gets figured out the ship will be sold out
  12. I liked Corrine. She led fun line dancing classes. Also, you must take Zumba with assistant director, June. He's great.
  13. We had someone pick us up recently, after the sold out Thanksgiving cruise. We didn't call him until we were walking off the ship at 9:30. We figured it was easier for us to wait, even for 40 minutes, than have him come too soon. There was a steady stream of cars coming in. No issues.
  14. Go to the fitness center on the first day for a schedule. There is usually an early morning free class (stretch or abs), sometimes repeated in the afternoon, as well as other classes for a fee. Princess, not spa employees, will offer free zumba and line dancing. Tai Chi is listed on my "journey" (I'm not on the ship, but soon), but I'm not sure if it's complimentary.
  15. I will be in a deluxe obstructed view balcony cabin on the Royal. How many outlets are there and where are they located? Thank you.
  16. I am on a cruise in 6 days that is oversold; people getting move over offers. Just received notice my bid was accepted. Going from inside to deluxe obstructed balcony for the minimum bid ($40pp). I checked the deck plans and it is in a nice mid ship location and the view is not that obstructed. Can't believe they are still playing musical cabins so close to the cruise date.
  17. Next week, Thanksgiving cruise, probably sold out. The Royal is actually oversold for next week.
  18. That's insane. Wondering if they were looking for someone or something specific. 🤔
  19. We are sailing in 3 weeks and noticed some activities are showing up on the app. A champagne waterfall on our 2nd night of a 4 night cruise! Wasn't expecting that as we don't have a formal night. Adjusted my dinner time earlier so I don't miss it.
